Single shot, got a great depth of field and he stood in one spot long enough for me to really nail the compound eye detail. #insect #photography #macrophotography30 Oct 2025 23:50 +0000at://did:plc:d5mloc3ne4whc3qd5c2si2ud/app.bsky.feed.post/3m4h5p6vj5s24https://bsky.app/profile/acemacro.bsky.social/post/3m4ej7zntms22Camponotus pennsylvanicus, an eastern black carpenter ant. Contrary to popular belief, carpenter ants don't eat wood--they just carve out wood to be used in their nests! #insect #macrophotography #entomology #photography #nature29 Oct 2025 22:38 +0000at://did:plc:d5mloc3ne4whc3qd5c2si2ud/app.bsky.feed.post/3m4ej7zntms22https://bsky.app/profile/acemacro.bsky.social/post/3m4bvghhyoc2tUrbanus proteus, a long-tailed skipper. These guys are easily recognizable by their gorgeous iridescent blue-green setae. Setae are the hair-like structures on most inverts, made from chitin! How EYE catching (I'm so funny). #photography #insect #macrophotography #insectphotography #entomology28 Oct 2025 21:39 +0000at://did:plc:d5mloc3ne4whc3qd5c2si2ud/app.bsky.feed.post/3m4bvghhyoc2thttps://bsky.app/profile/acemacro.bsky.social/post/3m3kmdch3gk25Pachydiplax longipennis, a blue dasher. The species name is a big misleading, it means long wings. There's a lot of research into using as a biological control agent against mosquitos, they're voracious predators. #photography #nature #insects19 Oct 2025 15:25 +0000at://did:plc:d5mloc3ne4whc3qd5c2si2ud/app.bsky.feed.post/3m3kmdch3gk25https://bsky.app/profile/acemacro.bsky.social/post/3m2jntamcxs24Dione vanillae, a Gulf fritillary. Fritillary is such a weird word to say out loud. The white spots under its wings are so reflective and bright that they can blind predators. Idk follow me or something? How do this social media work. #butterfly #insect #macrophotography06 Oct 2025 12:54 +0000at://did:plc:d5mloc3ne4whc3qd5c2si2ud/app.bsky.feed.post/3m2jntamcxs24https://bsky.app/profile/acemacro.bsky.social/post/3lzdxlmi3j22aSchistocerca obscura, an obscure bird grasshopper! They're called "bird" grasshoppers because they're incredibly strong flyers.

They're so variable, some scientists believed them to be separate species, but they're not!
